That's a lot of days in-between, with high winds and scorching temps to match.

Not the best of conditions to fight a fire, to say the least.

The Poudre Park fire has canceled all the white water rafting that is a big

tourist attraction in the summer.

It has been re-opened to many evacuated residents today.

Keep in mind, these residents have been evacuated twice!

I guess that's enough about fires for a while.

I have the greatest respect for the almost 2,000 firefighters that are battling blazes all around Colorado. It is hot. The fires are jumping and being eractic due to high winds. We have had firefighters battling the High Park Fire

since June 6.

Thank you.

Fire House Tour Day, from Dover I think.

Okay, I have to put in a little SUMMER FUN now!

Movie of the Day to watch:

Moon Over Parador

A really fun comedy that was panned by the critics.

Those silly movie critics - don't get me started!

This comedy is set in a fictional South American country (Parador)

and stars Richard Dreyfuss - a favorite actor of mine

and Sonia Braga - introducing me to her, and she is terrific!

and Raul Julia.

Raul Julia is excellent in this movie as a crazy 'bad guy', and he has some of the movie's best comedic lines!
